Photo of the Day: The result of a semi-nude run in a smog-smothered Beijing

Beijing residents took part in the third annual semi-nude run held in the city’s Olympic Forest Park this weekend. It’s a 3.5km racing event meant to promote healthy living, but as the air pollution continues to hover over the city, participants often show up donning pollution masks in jest.For the first time yet in 2014, the China Meteorological Administration and the Ministry of Environmental Protection in Beijing issued an orange alert for air quality that’s expected to last until at least Monday.
